Light and Life Songs No. 4 ‎#5

5. If Jesus Should Call Me, I'll Go

1 From over the waters there comes a sad cry,
Of heathendom’s millions, oh, why should they die?
No Savior to help them, no cure for their sin,
Oh, let us now hasten to bring them to Him!

Refrain:
If Jesus should call me,
I’ll go, yes, I’ll go!
For He will go with me,
And keep me alway.

2 The Spirit is calling, oh, list to His voice,
Surrender thy will, quickly bow to His choice;
Enlist in His army, no longer delay,
For He will go with thee, and with thee will stay. [Refrain]

3 From over the ocean they clamor for aid,
Necessity’s call on thy soul now is laid;
They know not the Lord, for they never have heard
The sweet invitation of His precious Word. [Refrain]

4 And after the strife and the battle are o’er,
My Savior shall welcome me on yonder shore,
In that land of light where we never shall die,
But live on forever with Christ in the sky. [Refrain]
